OH my goodness.  I am SOOOOOO in love with this couple and their session.  I had a blast running around Dallas with them and didn’t want the session to end, unfortunately it had to as they were prepping to jet off to Mexico the next morning for a friends wedding.  These two have a great story, they met playing sand volleyball!  Don’t you love that?  I do so we met up at a bar that hosts sand volleyball games every week and where they often play for some fun photos showing off one of their passions.  I loved their “POOK” balls (so named as Jarred took up jokingly calling Kristy Pookie when they started dating.)  Then we headed off for some nature and white rock lake then some glamour in down town Dallas.  We hit up some of my favorites in the arts district near Winspear Opera House and Nasher Sculpture Center before ending with the Skyline at dusk.  All in all an awesome session and I am stoked for their October wedding!

Kelley & John are awesome.  I had such a great time hanging out with them and I am so looking forward to their intimate wedding at Robert Carr Chapel and Artspace 111 later this year.  Kelley is originally from Houston and John is a native North Texan but their paths crossed at TCU through mutual friends.  These two are full of laughs and I can see how much John cares for her because his eyes light up and he smiles HUGE when he looks at her.  Thanks guys for exploring some rustic and some not so rustic urban locales with me around Fort Worth!

Richelle and Travis live in Houston but are getting married here at St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Van Cliburn at Bass Hall.  I was glad we could squeeze them in for their session on a beautiful day while they were up for he weekend working on planning.  So many of our couples plan from out of town making the process more challenging.  The light was amazing, the weather was warm and these two were oh so adorable.  It was great to get to know Travis and see Richelle interact with him.  See you both soon!

Katie and Nicholas are getting married in just a few weeks and with their date creeping up I was excited to finally meet them and get them in front of my camera for a quick mini engagement session.  We headed to a nearby field with railroad tracks for some photo fun!  I loved being with them as they laughed throughout and I can tell how much Nicholas adores his bride to be.  They have known one another since high school and through the years they kept in touch and they eventually were drawn back together.  Definitely a good thing because I just like how they look at one another.  See you two on the 29th!

Kelly and Arron are perfect.  When I met with them I just instantly liked them and I was SO thrilled when the choose me to photograph their wedding.  They are getting married later next year but the Fall is so perfect for engagement portraits so we spent a little time together a few weeks ago.  We checked out a few of my favorite spots near the Historic Post Office downtown and Trinity Park, always a favorite of mine.  I have to admit Aaron is pretty awesome, he put up with my cruelty through out the session as I poked fun at his “modeling” career.  I know we are going to have even more fun at their wedding next year.  2013 is going to be pretty cool.
